Saturday Update

Josh and Johann took the trip to Philly Saturday morning to race the Lemon Hill Crit - Located on one of the famous sections of the USPRO Championship Course. In the Cat. 4/5 race, Josh pulled off a very respectable 6th place even though he sat up in the final sprint - AFTER getting rammed by another rider. He was lucky to stay upright, let alone finish 6th. Johann had a strong ride in the Cat 4 race, finishing top 20.

John (me) raced the super dry, super dusty, super fast Hershey's Race for Chocolate Mtn Bike race in the Expert Senior II category. Had a good race today, but unfortunately, so did the guy who won. I entered the woods in second position, but never again saw the first placed rider - he was just motoring (on a singlespeed no less...ugh). I was caught by two riders at the end of the first lap, but was able to drop them both midway through the second, riding the rest of that lap and the third on my own. It was a tight race though, as 3rd and 4th place were within two minutes of me.

Tomorrow we're all heading to Cargas...
